Sajan, Level 4 Pregen!'s page

Excellent! :)

I thought chronicle boons were the exception and could override CORE restrictions?

Well, there are at least a few monks you have met and had a chance to talk with. Aramaya you duelled with on the plinth. Bertrag who rescued the slaves and kept them alive in the mines until you arrived. Aeotsep was the monk who guided you so well through the challenges. Menkha was the monk who met you at the start. Itephta is the head of the monastery. You might decide none or several of them.

Sajan remains terse in his description, but does reveal that all the monks here are deserving of the Scarab Sages' admiration. In his personal thoughts, away from the prying of the Scarab Sages, he adds, '...but are the Scarab Sages worthy of THEIR admiration?'

Yeah... sorry... got nothing, but if Sajan did meet someone like that Intelligence Check to Remember: 1d20 ⇒ 1, he'd perhaps let the old Amenopheus know... but right now he's pissed for having his beauty sleep disturbed... his cognitive functions are deeply impaired... he is trying to fight the mounting anger with inner serenity, but all he finds inwardly is a supply of migraine and muscle pain from the lack of good regenerative sleep!

To the Pathfinders: "The Scarab Sages of Osirion have contacted me through my sleep. I do not understand why this impacted my rest, unless they maliciously intended to do so."

To Amenopheus: "I have found nothing of value to your organization. In the future, do not contact me through my dreams. Have a good day."

Unless I missed something, of course. I the player cannot recall finding anything; let me know if Sajan found something else that I can't remember.

"Search the lunatic's belongings friends; I will immediately return upstairs to prepare the monks for travel."

Fort DC 10 or sickened: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Shuriken Flurry vs. Oscar the Grouch, Ki Point for Extra Attack
shuriken 1, inspire courage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 for 1d2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5
shuriken 2, inspire courage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 for 1d2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5
shuriken 3, inspire courage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 for 1d2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Looks like a trash pile of yard waste.

Fort DC 10 or sickened: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Will DC 13 or sickened: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Shuriken Flurry vs. Priest
shuriken 1, inspire courage: 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 1 + 1 = 14 for 1d2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5
shuriken 2, inspire courage: 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 1 + 1 = 7 for 1d2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Pregen shurikens remaining: 30/35

I don't think we still need the countersong up; and with the sickened condition floating around each round, AND because I'm playing a CORE monk, which is horrible... inspire courage would be much, much appreciated! :) i.e. sickened is -2 to dmg also!!!

Fort DC 10 or sickened: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 sickened; but how long?
Will DC 13 or sickened: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Shuriken Flurry vs. Priest, Ki Point for Extra Attack
shuriken 1, sickened: 1d20 + 6 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 1 - 2 = 13 for 1d2 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 2 = 2
shuriken 2, sickened: 1d20 + 6 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 - 1 - 2 = 18 for 1d2 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 2 = 2
shuriken 3, sickened: 1d20 + 6 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 1 - 2 = 10 for 1d2 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 2 = 2

Sajan moves to the south of Snowball and flicks a shuriken towards the Rovagan's back.

Ranged shuriken: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 for 1d2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 dmg.

His plans to ninja-star the lunatic Rovagan to death shattered by the sudden melee, Sajan takes a double move action to follow after the others.

Fort Save vs. DC 10: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Climb check vs. DC 12: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Will Save, Still Mind, Religion Unfriendly to Sajan's: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 + 4 = 26

Sajan double moves along the rocks. He takes his wooden holy symbol of Irori from around his neck and stretches the leather cord tight around his fist, adopting a martial stance while clearly presenting the symbol of his way of life to the rambling degenerate priest.

Will be unable to post tomorrow due to a work thing; will resume Thu. Ttyl! (feel free to bot me)

Sajan passes 2 days' worth of trail rations through the opening.

"I am Sajan, a humble monk learning the wisdom of Irori wherever I go. This time, yes, the learning involves rescuing a monk named Bertag. The masters of his monastery told us he disappeared after an attempt to strike out at the minions of Rovagug. We have defeated the ones guarding the entrance. Who are you?"

Sajan humbly requests one of the two remaining flasks, if Meran accepts.

"Let us look for the missing monks," respectfully requests Sajan. "If some of these potions can enhance one's muscle mass, I would gladly accept one; these foes are heavily armored, and greater force is required to bring them to submission."

Sajan takes a walk through the fog to get into flanking position against both blue and red.

+1 temple sword + bull's STR + flank vs. blue: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 29 for 1d8 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14 slashing and magical dmg.

Sajan takes a 5-foot step besides Meredith, and from the fog comes a barrage of strikes towards the armored figure.

First Strike, vs. Flat-Footed AC if foe failed Perc. vs. Stealth 26:
flurry of +1 temple swords! + bull's STR! #1!: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15 for 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8 slashing and magical dmg;
Second and Third Strike vs. Regular AC:
flurry of +1 temple swords! + bull's STR! #2!: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9 for 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10 slashing and magical dmg.
using 1 ki pt. for extra attack: flurry of +1 temple swords! + bull's STR! #3!: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20 for 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13 slashing and magical dmg.

Flurry of misses - Core monk's specialty! :)

Sajan shows four fingers to his nearby allies, and points in the direction of the armored figures.

Sajan drinks his potion of Bull's Strength and 5-foot steps west staying within the mist (but at the edge of it so that he can see out).

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Buffs: Endure Elements, Bull's Strength, Concealment 20% miss chance, Stealth (DC26)

Sajan stealths forward in the fog.

Move action: 40 foot move down the track, including double cost in gray squares due to stealth.
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Move action: Sajan draws a potion of bull's strength.

Sajan bows to Garn in thanks. The heat will be one less thing hindering his focus during the fight ahead.

Buffs: Endure Elements

Sajan shakes his head. "Mister Deluge - your knowledge of modern contraptions would be much appreciated here," says Sajan, pointing at the lift.

Sajan nods at Garn as he inspects the lift with Meredith.

GM Aerondor: yes, Sajan was inquiring about poison for his shuriken, or any 'secret' weapon the monks would have in their vaults! :)

Sajan sneaks into the courtyard and looks around carefully.
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

If Sajan sees nothing out of place, he proceeds to cut the horses loose, and then follows Meredith into the shaft, draping a scarf around his mouth and nose.

Sajan checks with the party to see if borrowing the Ring of Jumping would be acceptable for everyone. He then pull the monks aside for a private chat.

Sajan will take a minute of silent contemplation upon hearing these news. After that, he rises, and addresses the monks, "We will attempt to locate Bertag. If he is alive, we will fight for his freedom. If not, we shall bring back the body so that you can put it to rest honorably."

Sajan 5-foot steps after his flurry, allowing Garn to relieve him.

Sajan continues the offensive!

Flurry of Misses!
Masterwork Training Temple Sword (nonlethal): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 nonlethal damage.
Masterwork Training Temple Sword (nonlethal): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 nonlethal damage.
Masterwork Training Temple Sword (nonlethal), Using 1 point from Ki Pool, Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 nonlethal damage and Fort Save DC 13 or STUNNED for 1 round.

Did... the battlefield rotate? if so, Sajan will 5-foot step; otherwise he would come back with Spring Attack.

Sajan sidesteps and goes on the offensive:

Flurry of Blows:
Masterwork Training Temple Sword (nonlethal): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 nonlethal damage.
Masterwork Training Temple Sword (nonlethal): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 nonlethal damage.
Masterwork Training Temple Sword (nonlethal), Using 1 point from Ki Pool, Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 nonlethal damage and Fort Save DC 13 or STUNNED for 1 round.

Ok, thanks for letting me know about attack rolls. I thought she had some kind of demigoddess powers! :P

And yes, I never played that pregen before: I did a double take when I read the Spring Attack feat again. It had been so long since I saw it in play. It's quite nasty at level 4!

Don't want to clutter gameplay so I'll put this here: Spring Attack does not trigger AoOs; even so, a roll of 8 would not attack Sajan I believe.

Sajan bows to the noble adversary, and adopting a nonlethal style, he springs forward, attempting a numbing strike with his wooden sword in Aramaya's shins, then backflipping backwards northeast of Garn Harlardorn's position!

Masterwork Training Temple Sword (nonlethal), Spring Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 nonlethal damage.

CONFIRM CRIT: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 = 16 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 nonlethal damage.

Sajan spits on his palms and rubs them together. He closes his eyes to focus, then opens them and looks to the sky. He spots an eagle in the distance. He breathes out, and walks to the pillar.

Climb: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Climb: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Climb: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Sajan bows respectfully and jumps to one of the pole, balancing in the crane position.

[Fist check: Acrobatics +10 --> Automakes]
Fort Save DC 13: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
[Second check: Acrobatics +10 --> Automakes]
Fort Save DC 13: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
[Third check: Acrobatics +10 --> Automakes]

Sajan puts the blindfold, and tunes his senses to the movements of the sensei. He can smell garlic, not incense...

Detect the Master: Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

The garlic triggers a subliminal anger reaction in the monk. Instead of dodging the sensei, the garlic fumes make the monk overly bold and he attempts a direct block.

Block the Master: Str check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Ugh.. some of that went through. Weird, that garlic threw me off mentally... He's very strong for his age. Perhaps garlic is key for anti-aging?

Meran moves up next to Sajan, "Interesting text. Different metaphors on self perfection. Do you strive for that?"

"I do. Do you as well?"

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

"By facing the challenge, I will grow," answers Sajan, as he bows and steps forward.

Holding one of the boards in front of him, he steadies himself and proceeds to let it fly upwards.

Hit the board, Dex check, Improved Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 5 = 14

Sajan then kick upwards with tremendous force with a back flip, then lands two feet behind his original position, adopting a martial stance by habit.

Break the board, Str check, Improved Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 5 = 28

Sajan respectfully stand near the lectern and reads the passages found at the current opened page.

Sajan bows as he hands the precious grain over. To Meredith, he bows as well, "I would be honored to help you learn and improve, if it is within my humble capacity."

“We could deny this challenge; we could bypass it.
But by facing the challenge, we grow.”

Sajan smiles as he sees his fellow Pathfinders mingle with the monks. At an opportune moment when everyone is gathered he shares the contents of the Scarab Sages letter with the group.

"I would be much obliged if you find anything about these jewels. I am... not as well-spoken as some of you. I believe in openly sharing our goals so that each of our strengths shore up our deficiencies. In this case, my own shy disposition and lack of emotional intelligence."

He bows to each of you with respect after saying this.

A Garundi monk wearing the garb of a different order of Iroran monks enters the monastery and bows respectfully to the Ouat monk at the door.

After the Ouat monk invites him in, he takes off his sandals, and bows in the direction of the monastery's altar. After this, he notices you all, and joins you.

"My name is Sajan. It is an honor to make your acquaintance. I come to help in your quest. May we all find an opportunity to grow."
